CTGiacchino will help Adywan SW-Revisited to became the official version for Disney?

i would like to know if Giacchino, will find a way to show to Abrams and Disney the Adywan version of a new hope and maybe Disney will hire Adywan as consultant director for the definitive version of all the saga Ot and PT... just a dream?

There's already enough meddling in Adywan's edits as it is, and clueless meddling at that. I'll never understand why anyone would trust somebody to re-edit a movie other than the filmmaker themselves (like it or not that's what Lucas was on ESB and ROTJ-- no different than if a hands-on producer like Alexander Korda wanted to recut "Thief of Bagdad" or if Walt Disney wanted to trim "Snow White"), especially when that somebody has demonstrated a clear lack of respect and understanding of the original work. Sure, sure, he restores Han shooting first to all its badass, idiotic glory. But anyone who thinks eliminating the cut from Tarkin to the Death Star exploding just so you can add some additional SFX is, at the very least, not the hands I'd want the saga entrusted to.

Oh, and some of Giacchino's music in the first season of "Lost" is nice, but after a while all of his stuff sounds the same. And his "Star Trek" score is abysmal at best, so I could give a damn what he retweets.

I'd much prefer the OOT be the, "official," versions personally. Y'know, the films that actually made film history as opposed to the patchwork embarrassments we've been getting since 1997 that just get worse.

Fan edits are often messy and dilute the idea the film maker had in mind.

Amen, at least on the bit about fan edits. As I noted in another thread, the problem with Star Wars Revisited is that it basically repeats the error of the Special Editions (and everything afterward) by actually tweaking the movie instead of just updating the effects. That can be annoying enough when done by the actual creator; when done by a fan, it just strikes me as presumptuous.

The best possible thing would be that the original edits, the despecialized and Adwyn edits, and the half dozen GL cuts all be released in a box set. I'm also really liking Adywan's proposed edits for the PT. Disney NEEDS to hire this guy.

That single act makes it more respectable than all of Lucas's alterations.

Oh brother!!! People are still harping on that one lousy scene.

Quick question-- does Adywan actually restore the scene to its original version, or just take the SE version, edit out Greedo's blast, and move from there? I ask this because to me, the bigger problem with the change isn't so much Greedo firing a blast (he was already pointing the gun at Han, so it's fair game for Han to shoot him) but rather the long shot take that's added to show them both shooting at the same time. I've often wondered if some of the more die-hard Firsters would even notice if you gave them the SE version of the scene, minus Greedo's blast.

But anyway. Didn't Adywan originally cut out the famous "Tarkin to Death Star explosion" edit just to add in a bunch of superfluous FX? That change alone really should disqualify him from being the voice of reason.
